I applied through other source. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at IBM in Jul 2015
Interview
I give my resume for an IBM collaborator. His manager contacted me by email scheduling a call interview. This first interview was more about my behavior at specific situations working in a group. He told me about his work group, what they are developing and what tools they use. He also told me that the next step is a technical interview with some engineers from his group.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What do you do if you have an idea of a better solution than that one your group is working on?
Applied through the company portal, completed an online coding assessment, followed by a technical interview covering data structures, algorithms, OOP concepts, and project experience. Concluded with an HR discussion about the role, career goals, availability, and compensation expectations.
## IBM Interview Process
The process began with initial resume shortlisting, followed by competitive **DSA and coding rounds** to test core technical concepts. After clearing those, I cleared two comprehensive interviews with the **Hiring Manager/Tech Expert** and **HR**.
Describe the interview process: The process consisted of three rounds: an initial online assessment focusing on data structures and algorithms, followed by two technical video interviews. The technical rounds were intensive, covering system design, live coding, and deep-dive questions into previous project experience and database optimization.
